- n. Plural form of diacritic.
Examples
“So – the diacritics are a feature of phonetics (not phonemics) and of tension, not lengthening.”
“May I point out that the "diacritics" are in fact largely meaningless from the point of view of transliteration.”
“You don't even need to worry about accented characters (words which have in their structure "diacritics"), as Swype will display the correct spelling immediately after you trace the word.”
“If you often use words that require diacritics, you may find that learning the AutoCorrect key combinations is faster and more convenient.”
“The AutoCorrect function in Word can assist you in entering diacritics to provide their proper appearance in a word.”
“As for the diacritics to signal vowel length, it seems that the length of a vowel depends, not on its phonemic value, but on its environment.”
“Vowels are indeed another matter, and I agree with your choice of symbols for the glides, which I think are becoming standard as the UK publisher preference for IPA symbols over letters/diacritics takes hold.”

“How do you pronounce “Thathanka Iyothanka” and what do the diacritics indicate?”
“A Turk, Azeri or Central Asian may romanize this as Faruk Ömer Abdülmütellep or Abdulmutallap, with or without diacritics, with or without the final p instead of b … And then there are possible South Asian spellings, Malaysian ones, and then there are misspellings of all of the above.”

mollusque Here are the extended ASCII codes that allow diacritic marks to be entered from the keyboard. Headwords in Wordie generally don't have diacritics unless it would be confusing to omit them, but that's up to individual preference (see here).
